What most Christians do not understand



Most Christian believers
do not know what it means to be a child of God. The apostle Paul
wrote in Romans 8:14 "Those who are being led by the Spirit of
God, they are the children of God, they are the sons of God." We
do not only need to repent of sin, but we also need to repent of our
own ways, our own mind, following our own understanding, and we have
to be led by the Holy Spirit. But you cannot be led by the Holy
Spirit if you have not been born again and if you have not received
the Holy Spirit.
If we do not have the
Spirit of Christ then we do not belong to Him. We need to believe in
Jesus, and obey Him; repent, turn away from sin, turn away from our
own ways, our own mind, our own thinking, and submit ourselves to
Jesus Christ, then be baptized in water and seek Jesus with all our
heart. He promised to give His Spirit in us, to teach us and to guide
us. We cannot serve Jesus and be pleasing to Him if we have not
received the Holy Spirit. Most Christian believers do not have the
Holy Spirit, they are only religious. They believe in the Bible. The
Bible tells us to obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, to repent and be
baptized and to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and then to follow
the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
To be a child of God is
about our relationship with Jesus Christ. How would we know that we
are children of God? How would it be obvious that we are followers of
Jesus Christ? If we obey His commandments, if we live according to
His words has also recorded in the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John. If we obey Jesus and do as He commanded, He will give His
Spirit in us,. He will guide us and He will teach us, and we will
serve His kingdom. We will have a new way of living. Our life will be
about Jesus Christ and the kingdom of God, doing His will. Even
though we are in this world we will not live for the things of this
world, we will live for Jesus Christ and for the kingdom of God, for
holiness and righteousness and obedience to Jesus Christ.
Most Christian believers
do not understand that if you do not know Jesus then you are lost.
You have to know Him, follow Him and obey Him, to be part of His
kingdom have you become part of the kingdom of God. Have you been
filled with the Holy Spirit, and do you follow the guidance of the
Holy Spirit every day? Do you understand what it means to be a child
of God.
May Jesus bless you.
